The foundation of all happiness is
health. A man with an imperfect deges-

dozen cherubs, and yet be miserable if he
be troubled with dyspepsia, or any Of the
disorders arising from imperfect digestion
or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgatiye Pellets are the safest and surest
for these morbid conditions.
Being purely vegetable they are perfectly
harmless.

M1 TIDE AL THE FLOOD.
Arrived at Dol, Fairfax found Dick and
his valet in waiting. The party, divided
in three sections, having apparently no
connection one with the other, sauntered
slowly down the road, toward a rendezvous
convenient, yet secluded.
Richard was then Intercepted as TO the
result of his Investigations.
''Well. 10 begin WITH said that tired and
sleepy youth, drawing himself up to his
handsomely proportional length and yawn-

there's no use in denying the fact that she's

and yon stream, I'm inclined to think, too,

''Stop," said his listener, decisively, ''this
is no time for nonsense. Relate the events;
not your beliefs.''
- Well, my boy, she left at half-past six.

''that young lady can easily be disposed of.

simple word, ''Send. F.

CHAPTER Y.
LOOK, THERE IT CONES.


As she sat painting upon this eventful
afternoon, when her expected companion,
Lydia was riding leisurely upon fruItless
errand TO Dol. Natalie let her thoughts re-
vert to their conversation Of the two pre-,
Vious days.
Then. OF course. she thought of Fairfax
What sad, but striking face he had! Who
was he! What troubled him so much! She
was convinced something did. Why had he
started SO and colored when he saw her
coming down the staircases Would she
ever see him again: He interested her
Lydia, too, took such an interest in him.
Why had she, herself, Immediately
thought of that song, when she cast her
eyes upon him! Why, too, did she always
think of it in connection with hint That
song was peculiarly and only hers and
Otto's. What right had this man to It'll
And yet it seemed his, too, as much as
theirs. Yes, and Lydia had said he had
been much disturbed as he listened to it,
and had remarked that it was interviewer
with his fate. Perhaps-she was almost
certain of it-her lost knife would return
through him.
In this ingenious and child-like manner
she unused, zealously painting all the time.
Suddenly the voice of Dimitri aroused
her. He pointed significantly to the storm
slowly gathering in the south. Her time
piece indicated half-past five O'Clock. The
storm couldn't possibly break for at least an
hour an a half yet She made the best of
her opportunity; and at quarter past sig
the finishing touch was laid upon the can
vas. Mounted en Medji, she turned to-
ward the view and waved her hand,
saying:
''Adieu! adieu Medji, this is our last,
my Aeetest. Tomorrow we 60"
For distance of several hundred rods
from the main road the cliff road ran III a
perfectly straight direction.
Just as Natalie gained the point where the
highway came in sight, she thought that
she caught sight of figure which darted
backward from the center of the road and
disappeared from view on the left; but, see
ing nothing more, she concluded her eyes
had deceived her.
A shrill whistle pierced the quiet air
This time she could not be mistaken. What
did it mean! Probably some huntsman caip
ing his dogs.
When arrived at the main road shd
glanced up and down it, but saw nothing UnI

were earnestly engaged in conversation.
Beyond them were some carriers coming
down the road. These were the only per-
sons in sight.

soul was TO be seen there, either.

TIRED OUT.

- Just tired out," the neishbor said,
Turning from the sQualid bed,
Where the weary woman lay,
Painting LIES last hours away.
JSave that sound OF sobbing breath.
An was still as coming death;
For the frightened children covered
Where, with heavy brows that lowered,
Meath the long-enduring strain,
The mute husband bore his pain.
Lust tirod GUITAR down below
Waves were fretting on the dow;
And the full, recurrent roar
Echoed upward from the shore;
Fainter grew the pulses beat
As the worn hands pluclxed the sheet
And the death damps gathered, where
Ruffed all the tangled hair.
Said the watcher at her side.
- She is waiting for the tide"
When the waves had ebbed anew,
The tired life was over, too;
Gone from want, and care, and il,
Very peacefully and still,
After all she bore and wept,
Eard-worked wife and mother slept; ::
Very fair she looked, and meek,
Long dark lashes swept her cheek,
Worn hands crossed upon her breast.
For the weary was at rest

lighted at the prospect Of something novel

Now, away with you both to pack your
grip-sacks.''
A moment later appeared the steward, TO
whom Nebbitt also gave the same instruc-
lions.
Twenty minutes afterward the entire par
ty of Adventures was ON board the fast ex-
press to Paris.
The steward was so successful in execut-
ing his commissions that in the evening he
was again on board the ''Namovna," which,
at ter O'Clock, had weighed anchor and was
rapidly steaming out into the channel
Meanwhile Fairfax and his two men
found their limited time barely sufficient for

each But the trio arrived at the station

seemed almost prcscience-she went over
TO his side and sang as she rarely had sung
before. Otto was so much moved when the
song was ended that he pct his arms about
her. and kissed her ''Good-bye.' As the
words of the song have it, it proved Good
bye for ever"
Two hours later, in he2dlong chase after a
stag, he galloped his horse down a ravine.
The exhausted beast lost his footing and
stumbled, throwing its master headlOng
against rock. Tho unfortunate youth
lived but a few moments.
The shock to the Princess was even
greater than might have been anticipated.
Returning from a horseback ride, while gal
Looping at full speed, was her wont, and
laughing gaily at some remark of her old
governess, whom her affection still retained
more as companion and chaperon than in
structress, she suddenly turned a curve in
the road and saw before her a rude, in
provised litter. borne on the shoulders of
four men. A fifth was leading two saddle
horses. A figure covered with mantle
lay upon the litter.
The impetuous speed of Medji carried his
rider nearly up to the party, ere she could
check him AS he came 10 a standstill,
Natalie recognized the men and also her
brothers horse. For a moment she doubted
the evidence Of her senses, and looked
again.
With overwhelming force the horrible
truth burst upon her. She leaped to the
ground, rushed up to the litter. tore the
mantle from the face, and saw her only
brother lying pale and cold in the sleep OF
death.

Not A Sign OF Crane.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The church on Gram
berry street, Brooklyn, made famous by tue
late Henry Ward Beecher, never presented
more joyous and gay appearance than it did
to-day. It was decorated more as for May
day than for funeral euolgy. The rays Of the
spring sun shone In through the east window
and reflected with exquisite effect tho beautiful
shades Of color Of the intermlngling flowers
and ferns. Not sign Of Grape could be seen
anywhere. The edifce was crowded to ita
fullest capacity. Rev. 8. b. Halliday, Mr..
Beecher's assistant, who is at present in charge
Of the church, assisted Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott
In conducting the services. DR.. Abbot spoke
for an hour, and the attention Of the audience
was only broken by the occasional sobblng Of
someof the church members.
